  • The Mose Machine
    THE MOSE MACHINE An anthropological approach to the building oF a Flood safeguard project in the Venetian Lagoon [Received February 1st 2021; accepted February 16th 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.104] Rita Vianello Ca Foscari University, Venice <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: This article reconstructs and analyses the reactions and perceptions of fishers and inhabitants of the Venetian Lagoon regarding flood events, ecosystem fragility and the saFeguard project named MOSE, which seems to be perceived by residents as a greater risk than floods. Throughout the complex development of the MOSE project, which has involved protracted legislative and technical phases, public opinion has been largely ignored, local knowledge neglected in Favour oF technical agendas and environmental impact has been largely overlooked. Fishers have begun to describe the Lagoon as a ‘sick’ and rapidly changing organism. These reports will be the starting point For investigating the fishers’ interpretations oF the environmental changes they observe during their daily Fishing trips. The cause of these changes is mostly attributed to the MOSE’S invasive anthropogenic intervention. The lack of ethical, aFFective and environmental considerations in the long history of the project has also led to opposition that has involved a conFlict between local and technical knowledge. KEYWORDS: Venetian Lagoon, acqua alta, MOSE dams, traditional ecological knowledge, small-scale Fishing. Introduction Sotto acqua stanno bene solo i pesci [Only the fish are fine under the sea]1 This essay focuses on the reactions and perceptions of fishers facing flood events, ecosystem changes and the saFeguarding MOSE (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico – ‘Experimental Electromechanical Module’) project in the Venetian Lagoon.

    eScholarship California Italian Studies Title From Mare Nostrum to Mare Aliorum: Mediterranean Theory and Mediterraneism in Contemporary Italian Thought Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7vp210p4 Journal California Italian Studies, 1(1) Author Fogu, Claudio Publication Date 2010 DOI 10.5070/C311008856 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California From Mare Nostrum to Mare Aliorum : Mediterranean Theory and Mediterraneism in Contemporary Italian Thought Claudio Fogu “Mi sono sentito come una barca sbattuta da tante parole.” Mario (Massimo Troisi) in Il postino In this unforgettable scene from Il postino , the Mediterranean Sea is figured as the progenitor of metaphor, poetry and the world. Mario feels like a “boat rocked by the words” of Pablo Neruda’s poem, but the liquidity of those metaphors invades his very being, leading him to venture the question: “Then the world, and everything in it, is a metaphor for something else?” Neruda’s startled face prompts Mario to fear that he may have gone too far, and he adds: “ ho detto una stronzata? ” (was that bullshit?). The poetic economy of the film requires Pablo’s infinite humanitas to pay its respects to the humble Mediterranean genius of poetry, but Il postino never provides a real answer to that question. The same issue returns to haunt the discourse about the Mediterranean in contemporary Italian scholarship and culture. Contrary to the clearly marked geographical boundaries of the Mediterranean Sea, the flow of metaphors around the theme of Mediterranean-ness is virtually infinite, and may indeed be without parallel in other cultural contexts.

  • How to Tackle Flooding in Venice What Are the Institutional and Material
    How to tackle flooding in Venice What are the institutional and material causes of MOSE’s failure? Master course: Environmental and Infrastructure Planning 11/06/2018 Student Supervisor Nicola Belafatti F.M.G. (Ferry) Van Kann s3232425 [email protected] University of Groningen Faculty of Spatial Sciences Abstract Literature extensively discusses the role of different elements such as corruption and stakeholder involvement as drivers of megaprojects’ success and failure (among others: Flyvbjerg et al., 2002; Flyvbjerg 2011, 2014; Locatelli 2017; Pinto and Kharbanda 1996; Shenhar et al., 2002; Shore 2008; Tabish and Jha 2011; etc). Scholars analyse reasons and incentives leading to the undertaking of public projects. The main consensus is that insufficient stakeholder involvement, processes lacking transparency and missing institutional checks are factors hindering the appropriate fulfilment of initial expectations and the realization of the project resulting in cost and time overruns (Flyvbjerg et al., 2002; Flyvbjerg 2014). The thesis tests the existing theories by linking them to a specific case study: Venice’s MOSE. The city of Venice and its lagoon have long been threatened by increasingly frequent floods, severely damaging the city’s historical and cultural heritage and disrupting people’s lives. The acqua alta phenomenon has considerably increased in scale and frequency throughout the last decade. The Italian government, in order to protect the lagoon and the city, launched in 2003 the construction of a mobile barrier called MOSE (MOdulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, Experimental Electromechanical Module) whose development had started back in the 1970s. The one-of-a-kind giant structure, known worldwide for its length and mass, has not yet been completed, though.

    02 Howard 1630 13/11/08 11:01 Page 29 ITALIAN LECTURE Architectural Politics in Renaissance Venice DEBORAH HOWARD St John’s College, Cambridge WHATISTHE ROLE OF ARCHITECTURE in the self-definition of a political regime? To what extent are the ideologies of state communicated in public space? Can public confidence be sustained by extravagant building initiatives—or be sapped by their failures? These issues are, of course,as relevant today as they were in the Renaissance.Venice,in particular,seems closer to our own times than most other Early Modern states because of its relatively ‘democratic’ constitution, at least within the ranks of the rul- ing oligarchy. It was a democracy only for noblemen, since voting rights and eligibility for important committees and councils were limited to members (men only, numbering about 2,000) of a closed, hereditary caste. Nevertheless,many of the problems over decision-making ring true to modern ears.Indeed, it could be argued that the continual revision of public building projects during their execution is an essential characteristic of the democratic process. It has been claimed by architectural historians over the past few decades that ambitious programmes of building patronage in Renaissance Venice helped to communicate political ideals to the public.1 Read at the Academy 10 May 2007. 1 See,for example,Manfredo Tafuri, Jacopo Sansovino (Padua, 1969; 2nd edn., 1972); Deborah Howard, Jacopo Sansovino: Architecture and Patronage in Renaissance Venice (New Haven & London, 1975; rev.edn., 1987); Manfredo Tafuri, ‘“Renovatio urbis Venetiarum”: il problema storiografico’, in M.

  • Martha Brech Composed Space in Luigi Nono's Live-Electronic
    Proceedings of the Electroacoustic Music Studies Network Conference, Florence (Italy), June 20-23, 2018. www.ems-network.org Martha Brech Composed Space in Luigi Nono’s Live-Electronic Composition Prometeo Research project: History and Technology of Musical Spaces Audio Communication Group, Technical University Berlin [email protected] Introduction Among the electroacoustical space compositions of the pre-digital era, Luigi Nono’s Prometeo, tragedia dell’ ascolto (1985) is extraordinary—not only because it is still performed regularly today, it is also an extremely complex work of the mixed category. Nono composed it as a texture of interwoven musical fragments, some based on lyrics that Nono had fragmented and rearranged from a libretto by Massimo Cacciari’s which itself was based on antique Greek mythologies, Ayschylos’ Prometheus tragedy, and modern literature excerpts from Friedrich Hölderlin and Walter Benjamin. Performing the work requires four orchestra groups, solo wind and string groups, a glass soloist (used as percussion), a mixed choir, a group of five solo singers and two speakers, a huge amount of equipment for live electronics (such as harmonizer, vocoder, reverb, delay, a sound motion device called Halaphon etc.), and at least twelve loudspeakers. Each group of musicians and each loudspeaker are placed on an individual position in the performance hall. Because until today only little was known about precisely how space is involved in the composition and what its functions are therein, the focus of my research project on spatial composition in the analogue era lies, at the moment, on the spatial aspects and their composition and representation in Prometeo —and that is also the focus of this paper.

Introduction The Other Voice In 1415, the young and still unmarried Francesco Barbaro (1390–1454) wrote the revolutionary treatise The Wealth of Wives (De re uxoria) that posits the value a wife contributes to a marriage as the mother of offspring.1 It is revolutionary because it identifies the mother—a woman, not a man; an interloper in the house- hold, not its patriarch—as the critical figure for the rearing of the young and, consequently, for the social and cultural reproduction of the noble family.

  • Nicolo Massa, His Family and His Fortune
    Medical History, 1981,25: 385-410. NICOLO MASSA, HIS FAMILY AND HIS FORTUNE by RICHARD PALMER* THE VARIED interests of the Venetian physician Nicolo Massa (d. 1569) found expres- sion in a range of publications on subjects which included anatomy, syphilis, plague and other pestilential fevers, venesection, and logic. Successful as a writer, he was also renowned as a practitioner and as a teacher, though he never held a university chair. He combined a shrewd common sense and an eye to business with a flair for self- advertisement, for the telling story in which he appeared more acute and resourceful than his fellows. The result was success, and Massa became a rich man. Not surprisingly in view of his many interests and self-dramatizing character, Massa has caught the attention of a succession of historians.' But there are still aspects of his career which deserve to be better known, and sources which have been largely overlooked. These include a rich vein of biographical information running through Cicogna's monumental work on Venetian inscriptions.2 This material is important because Cicogna had access to family papers in the possession of a descendant of Nicolo's nephew Lorenzo, especially Nicolo's biographical notes con- cerning himself and his family, dated 1565, and a draft will, dated 1566, the second of the three he is known to have made. Although the present whereabouts of these papers is not known, Cicogna has left a useful indication of their contents. In addition, a new source relating to Nicol6 Massa has recently come to light in Venice at the Istituzioni di Ricovero e di Educazione.3 Amongst the archives preserved at the Istituzioni are those of the Zitelle, founded in 1560 to house and protect girls in moral danger.
